The Black and Gold 1976
Girl Spikers Show Marked Improvement, Boys Make OIA Volleyball Comeback
Team spirit and great effort marked the improvement in the girls' volleyball team, moving from the one win and seven loss record of last year to an even 4-4 record.
The girls marched undefeated through their first three games, losing the fourth to Farrington. The fifth game of the season was a let down to Kahuku, who later won the OIA championship.
McKinley's fourth victory came when they spiked Kalani in a two out of three thriller. They ended the season in fourth place.
Boys' volleyball made a comeback at McKinley High School, with boys competing in OIA action. The last boys' volleyball team competed in 1970.
Athletic Director Joseph Ho initiated the program by assigning James Takemoto as head coach. For a first-year team, the Tigers proved though by posting a 4-6 record with upsets over Kailua, Nanakuli and Farrington.
Hard practices and warm-ups everyday showed the aggressiveness and willingness of the underclassmen team.
Coach Takemoto is assured of a "great season" next year since all of his players will be returning with experience.
